<<< It is possible that people who have ingested marijuana but no other drugs and no alcohol MIGHT have a lower accident rate than people who are not stoned, because drivers on marijuana drive very slowly and are more cautious than normal. >>>

Only luck would make that possible. Marijuana'a active ingredient, THC, connects to cannabinoid receptors in the brain. Cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence memory, thought, concentration, sensory perception, time perception and coordinated movement. It is clinically demonstrable that people high on marijuana are less coordinated and have more distorted sensory and time perception than those who are not impaired by drugs. Therefore it is not possible for them to operate a motor vehicle more carefully than a drug free driver.
